The test is querying where the words in a Lao sentence are considered
to start and end. Lao, like Thai and a few others, don't typically use
spaces between words which makes figuring that out trickier than for
other languages.

I have no idea, but its one or the other :-). If you disable/comment-
out the test and carry on, the outcome is that there will be a
difference in where a paragraph breaks when it word wraps from icu69 to
icu70 for Lao text.
